Patchwork & Quilting

Welcome to the Serendipity website…

Dear Quilters, Crafters and Sewists,

Happy New Year to you and yours and what a year of classes we have in store for you! As always, we will cover the usual bases of patchwork, quilting, dressmaking and bags but we have added a whole range of exciting new classes and courses for everyone’s sewing tastes.

If you’re one of our class regulars you’ll see that this Brochure is a bit shorter than previously. We have decided to only release classes and courses until the end of April, although you’ll notice that some courses continue on past the end of April because they are set courses. Around Easter we will release a second Workshop Brochure with classes and courses running from May to the end of July. We hope this way we can keep excitement going and be more flexible with adding fun classes along the way.

OPEN DAYS:

To celebrate the release of our workshop brochure, we will be holding 2 Open Days on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th January. All the samples for the classes will be on display if you want to ‘try before you buy’, we’ll have some tutors on hand to answer your questions and of course, it’s the perfect opportunity to sign up for a class or two.

Dressmaking:

We’re very excited to announce we have a new Dressmaking tutor, Helen who will take over from our wonderful Jacquie. Helen has many years of dressmaking experience and knowledge as well as having taught sewing and dressmaking for years in schools.

Roger:

Roger, the sewing machine mechanic will be in regularly again this year (usually every  month) for sewing machine services and repairs. His first visit to us will be on Saturday 20th January. If you’d like to book your machine in, give us a ring when we re-open on the 9th. Please ask for other dates and more details can be found on the website.

Layering-up Service:

If you’ve been busy sewing a quilt over the Christmas period, do remember we offer the service where we expertly sandwich your quilt top to the wadding and backing fabric leaving it smooth and ready to quilt by hand or machine. Prices start at just £10 and means you won’t have to crawl around on the floor yourself. For more details, head to our website.

We stock, in our experience, the best wadding from Hobbs in Heirloom Cotton and 80/20 as well as Polydown, Thermolam, Insulbright and Style-Vil Fix. We also have at least 20  Extra wide quilt backing fabrics in wonderful colours and patterns. These are all 108” wide and means you won’t need to have any joins. You don’t need to book in for this service, just pop in whenever is convenient for you.

Fabric:

Our Christmas fabrics are still reduced to £10/m and most of the Christmas panels are only £6. A great time to pick up a bargain for next Christmas! Over the next few months we’ll get lots of exciting new fabrics delivered….
